San Diego Area Superchargers (location speculation)

[ItsNotAboutTheMoney]

Didn't know that. But those blocks by Hawthorne SC are quite large and not sure walking 10 minutes each way would be appealing to many people.

When I hit the road for road trips (and I know i'll have to use public chargers), I keep a pair of rollerblades in the trunk. Back in the day, I've been known to rollerblade in my business suit.

I was out riding a bike this past weekend and I noticed some transformers being installed that looked an awful lot like the supercharger locations I've been to--even down to the paint job (haven't noticed the Tesla logo, though). It's in a little-trafficked parking lot at the Bay Boulevard Park in Chula Vista. The next time I'm on a bike around there, I'll have to take pictures and put it here.

I hope you are right... We'll need pictures.

It would be quite unusual to have Superchargers in a public park, though

The utility transformers are green and are the same for all installations (although the sizing varies). Perhaps you're referring to gray switchgear cabinets that are 90" tall? At any rate, I'm pretty involved on all the public charging projects going on around town and I don't know of any charging equipment going in at the Bay Boulevard Park. I think it's actually more difficult to do an installation at a municipal-owned location from a permission point of view than on private property...

Not always green... Some in AZ are tan...

That location would make no sense, unless Tesla thinks there is going to be a lot of Model S traffic between San Diego and Mexico.

Yeah, my guess for the rumored San Diego supercharger site is downtown, like, Horton Plaza, or near the convention center.

This isn't exactly a thread about Arizona, is it?

I'm guessing somewhere along I-15 north of downtown or I-8 east of downtown.

The CV parking was simply conjecture based on how the transformers looked like and how the parking lot appears open for so much Teslas--also, quick freeway access.

That being said, I'd hope that it's out near the Joe's Crab Shack area around the convention center. Though, honestly, it would suck around ComicCon.

Wait, San Diego isn't in AZ?

Count the zonies in San Diego in August...

 

[Sharkdiver76]

Any updates on this? Has been on coming soon map for months now.

 

[Cosmacelf]

About 3 weeks ago, Tesla were in negotiation with one or more site owners, so it'll take a while more yet.

 

[Aman]

Any update on this?

 

[DaveT]

Has anybody heard anything new about the San Diego Supercharger?

 

[Gregsbeach]

I have not heard of a location being finalized yet........this should be moved from coming soon to a 2014 dot.

 

[BlueTan85]

Tesla jobs site has listings for service people for a Tesla Mission Valley Service Center -- as opposed to the Trade Place service center. I didn't know there was anything in Mission Valley. Sounds like there is going to be one there soon? I wonder if that's where they're going to put the Supercharger?

Of course, the same job listings mention North County Location TBD. So is it Mission Valley or North County, who knows.

 

[gaswalla]

There are definitely rumors about a future del mar/Carmel valley area service center. I don't think a future service center is related to a future super charger
